lmao rofl, that's an awesome quote

Update: the last three days - Installed electric fan kit, fixed coolant leak and replaced t-stat, installed 90/10 struts and 4 cyl. front springs, removed front sway bar, installed and rewired Ford High-torque starter, removed transmission and clutch - found that bellhousing was cracked, pressure plate distorted and that clutch rivets were worn into flywheel not to mention it was the small 10" clutch anyway. so i have to buy all that for the later model 10.5" clutch setup and i'm also gonna get a short throw shifter (not sure what yet). I also installed a metric canadian speedometer but it's making a clicking noise so i may try to venture into the innards and fix it.
I still need to replace the windshield, install battery hold down, replace rear springs (possibly get new control arms), install new clutch/bellhousing etc., and countless other small things that have been neglected by the previous owner for years.
all in all i think i may have an hour or two more of work .....wait more like 21 hours more work
